Reverse Or Nothing For Complex Proximal Humeral Fractures

Humeral Fractures

Reverse shoulder prosthesis has recently emerged as an acute treatment for complex proximal humeral fractures. Promising functional results have been reported in observational papers. However, no clinical trials have yet been reported when comparing the conservative treatment to surgical treatment through the use of reverse shoulder arthroplasty.

Displaced Proximal Humeral Fractures: Delta Prothesis or Philos Plate?

Proximal Humeral FracturesAO/OTA (2007) Group B2 and C2

To investigate the assumption that reversed shoulder prosthetic replacement will give a better functional outcome compared to open reduction and internal fixation with an angular stable plate in displaced proximal humeral fractures. Short name: The DelPhi trial.

Simple Decompression Versus Anterior Transposition of the Ulnar Nerve

Humeral FracturesUlnar Nerve Compression

Both simple decompression and anterior transposition of the elbow nerve (ulnar nerve) for acute displaced fractures of the elbow (distal humerus) treated with plate fixation are currently used by surgeons. We want to examine which treatment will overall give better results in regards to arm function and residual pain.

Management of Displaced Supracondylar Fractures of the Humerus Using Lateral vs. Crossed K-wires...

Humeral Fractures

Completely displaced (Type III) supracondylar fractures of the humerus are treated in the operating room and are held together with pins stuck into the bone. There are two ways of inserting the pins: crossed and laterally. The crossed method is often used because it is thought to be more stable, but this method also carries a risk of hitting the ulnar nerve. It is not known which method is more stable. Our hypothesis is that loss of reduction will be equivalent between the two pinning methods.

Internal Fixation of Lateral Humeral Condyle Fractures With Absorbable Screws in Children

Humeral Fractures

Lateral humeral condyle fractures are the second most common elbow fractures in children. Displaced and rotated fractures require stabilization and reduction. Kirschner wires (K-wires) are most commonly used for fracture fixation. Here, the investigators introduce a new fixation method involving absorbable screws. The investigators aimed to determine if it is feasible to treat lateral humeral condyle fractures with absorbable screws by comparing the functional outcomes obtained using screw fixation vs. K-wire fixation.

A Research Study to Understand and Predict the Failure of Shoulder Fracture Fixations Using Computer...

Proximal Humeral Fracture

Fractures of the shoulder, the so-called proximal humeral fractures, can be treated with locking plates that have shown good results in clinical practice, but complications can occur. In order to further improve the treatment of proximal humerus fractures and decrease the rate of fixation failures, further research is necessary. As a first step, the reasons for potential implant failures need to be understood. This study has been initiated by scientists at the AO Research Institute Davos (ARI), Switzerland, which is the research center of the AO Foundation (www.aofoundation.org), an international non-profit organization led by surgeons specialized in fractures such as these. Researchers at the ARI have been developing a computational simulation tool to predict fixation failure and demonstrated its efficiency in laboratory conditions. This clinical study has been organised to validate this tool using patient data, by comparing the risk of mechanical failure predicted by the computer simulated model with the clinically observed fixation failure. In future, this computer simulation tool is expected to help surgeons to select the best fixation for a given patient and to develop improved implants.

Teriparatide for Fracture Repair in Humans

OsteoporosisAge-Related1 more

This study will test the hypothesis that daily subcuaneous administration of 20µg of teriparatide (TPTD) as compared to daily subcuaneous placebo for twelve weeks accelerates proximal 2-segment humerus fracture healing and improves the three dimensional structural properties of bone as measured via quantitative bone image analysis and finite element modeling assessed by quantitative computed tomography.

Bimodal Analgesia as Form of Pain Control Post Long Bone Fracture

Tibia FractureFemur Fracture1 more

The purpose of this prospective randomized study is to evaluate the risks and benefits of using bimodal analgesia, (i.e. Narcotics and NSAIDS) vs Narcotics alone post long bone fracture.

Pain Management in Children Undergoing Supracondylar Humerus Fracture Repair

Humeral FracturesFractures1 more

The purpose of this study is to determine if US-guided supraclavicular anesthetic blocks reduce postoperative pain, use of rescue medication, and improve functional outcomes in children who underwent surgery for supracondylar humerus fractures.
